WARP-BEAMING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,055, dated January 8, 1889.

Application filed November 29, 1887. Serial No. 256,434. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that JOSEPH M. STONE, of North Andover, county of Essex, and State of Massachusetts, did invent an Improvement in IVarp-Beaming Machines, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters 011 the drawings representing like parts.

In the preparation of warp-yarn to be woven into fabrics the yarn is run through a machine called a dresser, and is wound upon a reel consisting of a large open cylinder mounted preferably upon casters or rollers and made movable longitudinally with relation to the axis of the drying-rolls of the dresser, the said yarns being wound upon the reel in sections side by side. The several sections of yarn wound upon the reel are subsequently wound upon a warp-beam of a loom by a machine called a beamer, it being adapted to rotate the warp -beam. For the best results the warps should be wound as tightly as possible on the warp-beam, andto eifect this the beamer has been constructed in a novel manner, whereby great power is gained in the rotation of the beamer.

This invention consists in a beamer composed, essentially, of an internally-toothed gear having dogs or projections to engage the head of and rotate a warp-beam, a driving-shaft, its attached pinion and spur-gear, and a holding-pawl for the said spur-gear, combined with a pulley and a pinion to e11- gage and drive said spur-gear to rotate the driving-shaft, as will be described.

Figure} in front elevation, partially broken out, represents a beamer embodying this invention, it engaging a warp beam. Fig. 2 is a section of Fig. 1 in the line :0, the beltpulley being broken out to show the gearing beyond it; and Fig. 3 is a right-hand elevation of Fig. 1, the warp-beam and the bracket for supporting the right-hand end thereof in Fig. 1 being removed, the gear being partially broken out.

The frame-work A of the beamer, connected by suitable cross bars or ties, B, at the bottom or top, has a suitable shaft or rod, as 0, surrounding which is a suitable driving-pulley, D, having a sleeve-like hub, D, to one end of which is fixed a pinion, D which in its rotation with the said pulley engages a spurgear, D fast on and rotates a driving-shaft, E, it having at one or both ends a drivingpinion, as a, the said pinion engaging the internal teeth, Z), of the internally-toothed gear or plate G, (see Fig. 3,) said gear or plate having at its outer side or face preferably a socket, as g, to receive the journal 0 of the warp-beam IV, of usual construction, the said gear or plate having also attached to it one or more driving pins, studs, or dogs, as g, the same being adapted to enter notches or suitable recesses in or forming part of the head of the warp-beam.

The drawings show an internally-toothed gear or plate at each end of the frame-work A, the opposite ends of the shaft E having like pinions, by which to drive the said internally-toothed gears, and consequently the like gears at the left-hand side of Fig. 1 are marked by like letters.

The gear G at the left of Fig. 1 is broken out at its periphery to better show the goara.

The drawings show a warp-beam set up at but one end of the beamer; but it is obvious that a similar beam might be mounted at the left of Fig. 1.

By an inspection of the drawings it will be seen that the toothed gear or plate G is of much greater diameter than were the said gears or plates provided with peripheral teeth, to be engaged by the pinion a of the diameter shown in the drawings.

The spur-gear D is prevented from rotating backwardly by the pawl D, having its fulcrum 011 the shaft 13.

As herein shown, the journal at the opposite end of the warpbeam is supported in a box at the upper end of a bracket or stand, h.

What is claimed is- 1. In a beamer for warps, the internallytoothed gear G, having dogs or projections to engage the head of and rotate a warp-beam,

the shaft E and its attached pinion a, spurgear D and its holding-pawl D combined with pulley l) and pinion D to engage and (him the said gear I), all substantially as shown and described.

2. In a hemner, two gears or plates, Gr, havin; each a series of internal teeth, as 7), (30111- hiuecl with :1, P01111111] shaft, as E, and with a pinion, as 0, upon each end of the said shaft 10 refute the said gears or plates, whereby two wm'phemns maybe rotated, substantially as (leseribed.
